Madonna: Gaga Song Just a 'Redo' of Mine

It seems she agrees that 'Born This Way' copies 'Express Yourself'

(Newser) – No, it's not just you who thinks Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" sounds a lot like Madonna's "Express Yourself": Madonna thinks so, too. The Daily Beast's Cheat Sheet has this little nugget from an upcoming Newsweek profile on the Material Girl: When she first heard "Born This Way," Madonna says, "I thought, What a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was … interesting." Click for another one of Madonna's passive-aggressive swipes at Gaga.

Lady Gaga is the 21st century version of Madonna and Madge is jealous as all hell about it. BTW is it me or is Madonna starting to look like an older Betty Davis?

Madonna's just trying to capture some of the pop attention in an attempt to stay relevant.  Unfortunately, her time has passed and she should be gracious like so many people were to her as she "redid" their music, dances and costumes.  Regardless of how you feel about Lady Gaga, she has proven her loyalty to her fans, something Madonna cannot say.
